fccview[beta] degoog - search engine aggregator
rottenmummyOh WOW!
I want to try it.
Some people have already been hosting public instances of it <3
Thanks
PherenikeIsn’t it another alternative to Whoogle?
I learned about whoogle the other day from a tweet, very different tech and principles overall, this is more of an alternative to searxng, but regardless, alternatives make the internet a better place ♥️🫡
That’s very true! Thanks
Hi! Probably, I tend to add translations to all my apps if they become popular enough anyway… do you mean to geolocate searches or to translate?
Both possible, technically, but geolocation may be a bit tougher Feel free to open a feature request on GitHub so I don’t forget ♥️
cabbageSuper impressed by this based on first impressions! Searxng never seemed robust when I used it (not hosting my own), this feels a lot more solid. I guess that could also be due to less traffic, as I’m only using public instances.
I am pretty happy with Qwant recently, but might either try this as my default search or as my first fallback option when Qwant fails. Amazing work!
Lunarthis is amazing!
is there a way to pass “before:2022” with this thing? or otherwise set a cutoff year to the search results? doing so is pretty much the only way to get AI-free image search results nowadays.
nfreakI commented on this the other day, considering trying it because searxng’s theming options are lacking, but then I came across this and noticed they’re in here too, so looks like it’s definitely time to spin this up and give it a shot 🫡
(tbh after looking through this list I have a LOT to replace on my stack… time to get moving I guess)
Ha! I remember! Yeah I tried to make theming as easy as possible, you’ll see if you decide to make a custom theme!
One note about that list, I don’t think I’d call “slopware” a project that decides to enable codepilot to initially scan code reviews 😆 that’s what it says next to searxng, that list feels a little too strict and almost having some sort of agenda, I’d say 80% of the internet should be in there if we go by these criterias lol
Aren’t they gonna send a cease and desist for having a logo that looks like theirs? I know parodies are legal but they will pursue it aggressively, no?
I think it’d be a very bad look for a company the size of Google to file something against a tiny open source application.
Colors are slightly different, the word “Google” can’t be copyrighted and it’s an aggregator and not an engine, that said I do want to rebrand before going out of beta, mostly due to this being impossible to find when searching for it 😆
Funny thing about that (/s) is that they’re basically required to go after “misuse” of trademarks and such. Letting small company X do it could invalidate any efforts to stop large company Y from doing it.
Also Google DGAF about optics.
I’d have a read here :)

Whilst you’re generally right, Google does not have a history of suing open source projects and they very much care about optics in this specific aspect (at least so far and for now). Whilst I’m not a fan generally, it’s undeniable how much they contribute to open source in general :) it’s always good to give credits where credits are due as it’s the kind of behaviour we want to encourage you know
jjlinux | X unverified 😅@fccview @BrianTheeBiscuiteer as much as I hate Google, it's executives and everything they stand for, I 100% agree that credit where credit is dua should always be the route. This is what separates us from them. Not lying to further our philosophy is how we maintain open and transparent discussions about technology the right way.
pewpewNeat idea but I could just switch search engines when I don’t find what I’m looking for.
Usually I just use DDG and I very rarely have to switch engines so this is completely overkill for my needs.
But I’d like to have custom bangs, I just started using the DDG ones and it saves me a lot of time
